Heroes and Villains of the Bible

I just finished reviewing a new book by Thomas Nelson publishers, “Heroes and Villains of the Bible”. I always enjoy reading and reviewing Bible books for children, and reading them with my nephews and nieces.

The book’s description says the following:

“50 true-life adventures of real people from the Bible—stories of good versus evil, right versus wrong, and heroes versus villains—and their life-shaping lessons that point children to God—the greatest hero of all!

The Bible is packed with stories of courageous people who loved and served God, and how He used them to do great things in the world. It is also filled with villainous people who disobeyed God and did horrible things. Heroes and Villains of the Bible encourages its readers to aspire to become great, courageous, and heroic servants of God, and reject all that is evil in the world.

With Heroes and Villains of the Bible, children will realize some of their favorite heroes aren’t from the movies, but are real people from the Bible.”

I think it’s wonderful to have the Bible and the stories therein brought out and presented in different ways. We know most of these stories by heart, but in a different presentation as well as a short lesson on each one, I think it’s a great way to highlight angles of the stories that may not have stood out to us previously.

All in all, I think it’s a great book.
